[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1180631, member: 55230"] More than sufficient? Debatable, but I was hoping you could elaborate more on your experiences for us rather than tossing out a simple statement. Perhaps I shot this one elk at 700yds w/ 6.5 110gr berger high shoulder and he took two steps and died, or I shot this other elk at 200yds hit him in the hoof w/ my 06 and he ran for 20+miles... so by those standards a 6.5 is better for big game than a 30. :D I think the 260 question on elk has be answered on this thread and several others multiple times over. The end result is as with any weapon: "within the shooter's capable range + within the bullet's effective range". [/QUOTE]
